Avise had a team-leading 11 kills as the Bobcats turned back the Railsplitters in four sets. Avise played only half rotation for the first two sets as the Bobcats (15-19) tried their luck with a new-look lineup. The end result was a split decision for the first new lineup and a unanimous decision for the second attempt. “So really, we had one night to prepare with a brand new lineup,” O’Neal said. After Morgan Hilderbrand served up a 6-0 run with an ace and a pair of Avise kills, Avise served up her own six-point surge to put Marshalltown on top 19-8.
